[Verse 1] I know the nights are lonely babe There's so much rain, so far away, yeah Know I'd rather be with you But I gotta do what I gotta do [Pre-Chorus] Every minute of the day gets longer When you're not around, baby I'm going insane All the distance makes us stronger [Chorus] So baby leave a light on for me when I'm gone Leave a light on for me all night long Leave a light on for me 'cause I'm coming home So baby leave a light on for me, I'll be back Leave a light on for me, you know that Leave a light on for me 'cause I'm coming home [Verse 2] Baby, without you by my side It's hard to sleep at night, just isn't right at all But no matter where we are It's the same stars shining in the dark, oh woah [Pre-Chorus] Every minute of the day gets longer When you're not around, baby I'm going insane All the distance makes us stronger And no matter what, nothing's ever gonna change We just gotta keep on doing what we do like nobody else does it With you is where I belong [Chorus] So baby leave a light on for me when I'm gone Leave a light on for me all night long Leave a light on for me 'cause I'm coming home So baby leave a light on for me, I'll be back Leave a light on for me, you know that Leave a light on for me 'cause I'm coming home [Verse 3] 'Cause I'm coming home Leave a light on for me, coming home 'Cause I'm coming home I said baby won't you wait for me? I'm coming 'Cause I'm coming home Won't you leave that light in the window 'Cause no matter where the wind blows, oh 'Cause I'm coming home [Bridge] 'Cause the picture don't do it any justice And no matter where I am, you can trust this You ain't gotta worry 'cause you know you're all I need To hear your voice on the phone isn't near enough When I hear it, I wanna be near your touch In your arms, soon that's where I'll be [Chorus] So baby leave a light on for me when I'm gone Leave a light on for me all night long Leave a light on for me 'cause I'm coming home So baby leave a light on for me, I'll be back Leave a light on for me, you know that Leave a light on for me 'cause I'm coming home [Outro] 'Cause I'm coming home 'Cause I'm coming home So baby leave a light on for me 'Cause I'm coming home 'Cause I'm coming home
